Dear List,
since some time I am experiencing a strange error during the boot of my vdr. After the driver was loaded and vdr starts, the live picture briefly appears, and then diappears with the funny pattern from driver loading reappearing. After a while the screen goes black. The OSD is fully functional and after a reload of the drivers and restart of vdr everything works fine.
When i look into the syslog, I find the following:

I am running vdr 1.3.32 (although this phenomenon was observed with 1.3.15 too) with linux-dvb.2004-12-26 on a siemens 1.3 card. The kernel is 2.4.18 in a suse system (8.0)
Anyone seen this before (I have seen a few posts in google, but no ideas)
Best Regards, Christoph-
